1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the sonne of Hepher, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasseh, of the familie of Manasseh, the sonne of Ioseph (and the names of his daughters were these, Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah) 2 And stoode before Moses, and before Eleazar the Priest, and before the Princes, and all the assemblie, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying, 3 Our father dyed in the wildernes, and he was not among the assemblie of them that were assembled against the Lorde in the companie of Korah, but died in his sinne, and had no sonnes. 4 Wherefore should the name of our father be taken away from among his familie, because he hath no sonne? giue vs a possession among the brethren of our father. 5 Then Moses brought their cause before the Lorde. 6 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saying, 7 The daughters of Zelophehad speake right: thou shalt giue them a possession to inherite among their fathers brethren, and shalt turne the inheritance of their father vnto them. 8 Also thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and haue no sonne, then ye shall turne his inheritaunce vnto his daughter. 9 And if he haue no daughter, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his brethren. 10 And if he haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his fathers brethren.
